Online Voter Registration Now Available

July 23, 2013

Registering to vote or updating voter registration information is now
more convenient for Fairfax County residents. The Virginia State
Board of Elections launched an online voter registration service this
week at www.vote.virginia.gov.
The service streamlines the process and creates more accurate
registration records, which is expected to reduce problems and lines on
Election Day.

number, which is displayed on your DMV-issued identification card or
driver’s license (at the top of your card).

Social Security Number

Birth date

Fairfax County residents who do not have a Virginia DMV customer
number or other required information may still fill out the
registration application online, but will be required to print, sign
and return the completed application to the Office of Elections, P.O.
Box 10161, Fairfax, VA 22038. You may also bring it in-person to the
Office of Elections, Suite 323, Fairfax County Government Center, 12000
Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA 22035-0081.

All Fairfax County voter registration application submissions are
still subject to review and approval by the general registrar. When the
application or update is approved, you will be mailed a new or updated
voter registration card.

“We encourage everyone who can to register to vote online,” said
Fairfax County General Registrar Cameron Quinn. “In addition to the
convenience to our residents, it also will make a significant
difference in the accuracy of our voter records. It can be a challenge
to read and interpret handwriting on the paper ballots. I expect this
new online service to improve the voter experience both when
registering and on Election Day.”

The Virginia General Election is Nov. 5 and will include elections for
governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, Fairfax County sheriff
and the House of Delegates. The deadline to register for the Nov. 5
election is Oct. 15.
